This is another new friend that I made in Vermilion, Ohio. There are lots of Blue Heron in this part of the country. I saw one land in the water, pick up a fish and fly away. This was a first for me.We left Vermilion this morning and went to Put In Bay on South Bass Island, which is in the western end of Lake Erie. Put In Bay is the counter of Key West, Florida. This is a party town on the weekends, this time of year and all week during the summer. It is all bars, tee shirt shops and restaurants.

I've seen lots of beautiful and interesting designed homes along the waterway since leaving New Bern. HOWEVER this is the strangest one I've seen. Being a boat lover it is my kind of home. It actually is a steel boat, approximately 150 feet long and appears to be someones home. As you can tell it is sitting on top of a stone ledge, approximately 75 feet from the water. How did it get there?????
This is down town Put In Bay. Neat place to visit during off season. The docks raft up boats 4 wide and there are over 80 mooring balls for other boats to swing on. In addition there are big ferry boats bringing people on the island all day long.
There is a federal part on Put In Bay with a 350 foot tall Doric column that was built in memory of Commodore Oliver H. Perry, who in the war of 1812 fleet defeated the British Navy in the battle of Lake Erie. When ask what to do with the British fleet, Admiral Perry responded, "Put them in the bay" and this is how Put In Bay got its name.

From there to Lake St Clair and into Lake Huron.
This is only a portion of the docks at Put In Bay.

I just found you and am so happy you are having so much fun! You deserve it. I hate that I found you just as you're leaving Ohio. Karen probably would have made a trip up to see you. Her son is growing so quickly. He's now 13 months old and Petula is expecting in July. We're excited. I love the blogs and the pictures. We're headed to Greenville to see ECU play baseball. They are hosting the regionals for the first time in Greenville and today it all begins.
